Advantica's new website offers advanced interactive and self-service features, including links to online portals specifically designed to serve the unique needs of each user group. For example, benefit managers can change eligibility online in real time. Brokers can request a quote. And, providers can verify member eligibility. Member functionality has also been expanded. Members can now check the status of a claim, locate providers by zip code and print a map with directions to a selected provider's location. They can also review their benefits and print temporary ID cards, which minimizes calls to benefits managers, reducing administrative burden for clients and placing healthcare back in the hands of members.

"Service is a leading focus at Advantica and continuous improvement in everything we do underscores that commitment," noted Andy Davis, Advantica's senior vice president of sales and marketing.

The new Advantica website also features an expanded Knowledge Center, where users can access relevant educational materials including articles that explore the importance of dental and vision benefits. Research shows that good dental and vision care pay for themselves in terms of early detection and intervention of serious health conditions, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

"Making these advancements to our website is one of the many ways in which we are providing prompt, quality service to the various user groups we serve," commented Robert Elsas, vice president of marketing at Advantica.
